Director’s Message… It may be summer, but your Lee’s Hill Board of Directors is not on vacation. We have been very busy making improvements to your community to ensure, not only our property values remain high, but also our quality of life is good too. As you may remember from an earlier Crier issue, we voted to buy starting blocks for the swim team at the North Pool. Please refer to Shari Denecke’s article in this month’s Crier for more information and photos. This BOD has enjoyed a wonderful cooperative working rapport with the Lee’s Hill Lightning Board and I too, hope that it continues well after I am off the board. The BOD had a presentation from Spotsylvania Economic Development Commission and a local realtor to help better position Lee’s Hill for the onslaught of newer housing developments that are scheduled to start being built in the very near future. We want to remain competitive as the community ages. Although, I personally do not see it as a huge problem, I think there are improvements that are and should be made to keep up with the newer communities. One of the main projects that we just completed is the renovation of the South Community Center. By the time you read this, it should be completed so if you haven’t seen it please stop by. We have updated the lighting, the flooring, the fan and remodeled the bathrooms. This is a great space to hold birthday parties, wedding and baby showers or any other event. Please contact Judy Roberts at 540-891-0582 for availability information and pricing. The North community center will also be updated and remodeled hopefully before the year’s end. One possibility that the BOD has considered is enlarging the North community center so that residents on the north side will have a space to rent for special occasions. The south tennis courts are having a complete resurfacing and replacement of the fencing. We have made repairs over the past years but the court surface has deteriorated to the point that necessitated a complete overhaul of them. As always, we value input from the community so feel free to attend our monthly board meetings held on the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. at the South Community Center. Enjoy the rest of your summer! Karen Adams, Vice President

NOTICE At a meeting held on July 7, 2015, the Board of Directors adopted Amended Policy Resolution No. 9, Establishing Rules and Regulations Relating to Lease Registration. Resolution No. 9 was revised to ensure the Association’s policy regarding lease registration complies with recent legislative changes that became effective July 1, 2015. A copy of the amended resolution is being mailed to every Lee’s Hill homeowner, and will be effective August 1, 2015. If you have any questions, please contact the on-site office at 540-891-0582.

Manager’s Message… I know I say it every year, but I’m always amazed at how quickly August rolls around. I hope you’ve had a chance to attend at least one of the community events held at the pools this summer. If not, you still have one more opportunity before the pools close for the season. The Back-to-School Pool Party will be held at the South Pool on Saturday, August 29th from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There will be hot dogs, music, snow cones, swimming, and fun! The event is free to Lee’s Hill residents, but you will need to show a valid 2015 pool pass to be admitted. We will be including the 2015 Swimming Pool Satisfaction Survey in next month’s Crier. We would appreciate it if you would take a few moments to complete the survey and return it to the on-site management office. The feedback received from the sur-veys will be communicated to the Board of Directors. I would like to take a moment to remind residents that dumping yard debris on common areas is prohibited. While dumping the debris in the woods can seem harmless, it can actually create drainage issues on your property and that of your neighbors. In-cluded in this issue of The Crier is a letter from Kyle Bates, Assistant Residency Administrator of VDOT’s Fredericksburg Resi-dency, requesting that residents also refrain from placing yard debris in drainage ditches, as it can lead to drainage blockages and standing water on the roadway. Please be sure to dispose of yard debris in the appropriate manner. In case you were not aware, County Waste offers yard waste containers to residents at no charge. These 95-gallon containers are being offered upon request. The containers are brown and have vents on the sides to reduce the odor in the container. These containers can be placed for pick-up with your trash on Tuesday and/or Friday. If you would like to request one, please contact the on-site office at 540-891-0582 and we will be more than happy to order one for you. I would also like to remind residents that garbage should be secured within a trash container provided by County Waste when placed curbside for pick-up. Securing trash in a container will help prevent animals from getting into the trash and litter being strewn about the neighborhood. Properly securing garbage will also help prevent the unnecessary expense of the Association hav-ing to hire a handyman to come in and pick up trash. In addition, your neighbors will likely appreciate not having to clean up your trash that has blown onto their property. Garbage that is secured in containers is also much less likely to attract wild animals to the area. Lastly, using the provided containers allows for more efficient trash collection, as it takes longer for the driver to have to load individual bags into the truck than it does for them to use the automated arm of the truck to dump a container. If you’ve opted to not use a trash container due to the difficulty of storing it out of view on non-collection days, owners of non-garaged townhomes may store their container in front of their home, next to the front porch or stoop, provided that it is completely screened from view from the Common Area or other Lots using natural screening shrubs (i.e. shrubs tall enough to completely screen the containers from view) or a white trash container screen. These two options do not require approval from the Covenants Committee. Owners of single family homes and garaged townhomes/villas may apply for approval to use screening, such as shrubbery or lattice, to screen the container from view. If you would like additional information, or would like to obtain an Exte-rior Alteration Application, please contact the on-site office at 540-891-0582. For those who have extra bags of trash each week that will not fit in the container, there are a couple of options. You could either have your container swapped out for a larger container, or you could start using your recycling container more. While recycling may seem intimidating to some, it’s really quite easy. You no longer need to separate your recyclables and can just throw them all into your recycling container – you don’t even need to bag them! Increasing the amount you recycle will not only reduce the number of extra bags you have each week, but it’s good for the environment and it helps the Association earn money! County Waste pays Lee’s hill $20.20 for every ton of recycling collected from the community. The more residents recycle, the more the Association earns. It’s really that simple. If you’d like to give it a try, please review the single stream recycling guidelines in this issue of The Crier. Please mark your calendar for the Lee’s Hill Annual Meeting and Election on Monday, November 2, 2015. We will have three (3) vacancies on the Board that will need to be filled. In the July issue of The Crier, the deadline for submitting a Lee’s Hill Board of Directors Candidate Application was incorrectly listed as September 30, 2015. Please note that if you are interested in running, applications must be received by midnight on September 10th. As always, if you have questions, concerns, ideas, or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. I can be reached by phone at 540-891-0582 or by email at m.wine@cardinalmanagementgroup.com. Warmest Regards, Melissa M. Wine, CMCA®, AMS® General Manager

August 2015 Lee’s Hill 55 Club News

Our regular meeting will be held August 19th at 7:00 PM in the Lee’s Hill South Community Center. Our guest speaker will be Marley Flores, Senior Program Advisor for the Virginia Medicare Patrol. Refresh-ments will follow the presentation. For those of you 55 and over who live in Lee’s Hill, we invite you to join our organization for social, chari-table and educational functions.

Please contact our Membership Director Steve Scheibe at 540-898-1378.

Social Activities

On Wednesday, August 26th we will travel to the Swift Mill Creek Theatre in Chesterfield for lunch and the comedy show “Dixie Swim Club”. Those of us who traveled to this historical mill and theatre last year were enchanted by the quaint colonial surroundings. “The Dixie Swim Club,” an encore presentation from the summer of 2014, is about five southern women whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team. Every August they recharge those relationships with a long weekend reunion. This is a touching and hilarious comedy about friendships that last forever. If you loved “ The Golden Girls” then you will love these girls too!! All inclusive bus fare, lunch and the show is $67.00.

Sunday, September 27th we will be enjoying a matinee performance of “Sister Act” at the Riverside Dinner Theater. “Sister Act” tells the hilarious story of Deloris Van Cartier, a wannabe diva whose life takes a sur-prising turn when she witnesses a crime and the cops hide her in the last place anyone would think to look—a convent! The cost will be $52.00 per person.

Reservations for all events must be made by phoning, or emailing Bertha O’Connor at 540-898-1132 (berthao@verizon.net). Checks made payable to the Lee Hill 55 Club must be mailed to Brenda Richardelli 9208 Glascow Drive Fredericksburg, VA 22408. Be sure to note the event on the memo line.

The team extends summer greetings to all! We have done well this season in the American division of the RSL. At the time of this article submis-sion, we have won 2 meets and lost 1. No matter how the season ends, all of our swimmers are champions! We have such a great team with stellar sportsmanship, enthusiasm, determination, dedication and teamwork. They are respectful and such a great group of kids! The Lee’s Hill Board of Directors is so proud of our team! Congratulations go to each swimmer and to the team on another successful season! We will be participating in the RSL Finals on August 1, 2015 at the King George YMCA.

This summer we have had so much to celebrate! It is our 20th Anniversary as a Team! We have a rich history in this community and we look forward to at least 20 more years! We also were able to install new diving platforms with the help of the HOA Boards support! We had a wonderful dedication ceremony! Thank you to the board members who attended the ribbon cutting ceremony! With Lightning pride, we have had a number of triple winners whereby the swimmer came in first place in each of their three individual events at a single meet. Congratulations to Kellie Morrison, Avery White, Rylie White and Charlotte Denecke. Great job, girls! This is a great accomplishment that you all can be proud of and that the team celebrates with you! We also have had pool records broken by 6 and under Sam Valasko in the 25 Freestyle, Reid Schattgen in the 13-14 boys 50 Butterfly and a 13-14 boys 100 Freestyle relay team that included Adam Morrison, Noah White, Reid Schattgen and Christopher Farrell! Congratulations, boys!!! What an accomplishment! As always, we want to thank our generous sponsors of the team! We are able to provide a quality program and team for the kids because of the support of SimVentions, Allen and Allen law firm, Anna Lee of Long and Foster, Gary Skinner- Lee’s Hill Supervisor, Fredericksburg Orthodontics, Fredericksburg Orthopedics, Legends Grille, Total Com-fort, Preferred Pediatrics, Rosner Group, Dupee Plumbing, Lee’s Hill Golf, Image Sun, Amanda Blalock, Affordable Automotive, I-Kik Taekwondo Academy, Andrew Flusche- Attorney at Law, Express Auto Service. Also, our Con-cession Sponsors: Wegmans, Giant, Danny’s Pizza, Hard Times Café, Sonic, Rita’s, McDonalds and Mexico Restau-rant. Wow! This is such great community support! A sincere thanks to all the parents who volunteer their time at the meets allowing all the swimmers to have all the op-portunities the swim team offers! Without all the volunteers, it couldn’t be done. Volunteering not only helps the team, but it is a great way to be a part of the community and bond with your neighbors, too! A huge thank you goes out to the Swim Team Board of Directors! You all volunteer time throughout the year bringing our team to a higher level as you each excel in your specialties. It is always a pleasure to work with each of you. It has been a great season! Last, but certainly not least, I need to thank the lifeguards, pool management, community management and the Homeowners Association Board of Direc-tors. The support they have offered us throughout the year with access to the pool facility as we need it, clubhouses for our meetings, ice cream social and end of the year banquet. All of these have been provided at no charge to the team. For that we are very grateful! Furthermore, all the lifeguard overtime was also absorbed by the HOA. I look forward to our Lightning families and Lightning Board to continue to enjoy a mutual respect and working relation-ship in future swim seasons with all of these fine people. Go Lightning!
